Shot up VTech?
Oh and in not worried, I got a 50 .cal bullet with their name on it anyone stupid enough to try anything with my family.

I think Hwen has already inflicted severe brain damage on everyone who was forced to read and attempt to understand his posts. Watching any of his movie recommendations will cause full blown Alzheimer's.
I've always been kind of intrigued by his signature. I thought his avatar was Gustavus Adolphus because of Sweden and the 30 years war. I ended up doing a reverse image search, and its some guy who advised Adolphus if my memory serves me correctly. Once my semester ends, I'm going to start reading more about that conflict. From my limited knowledge though, Gustavus was a military game changer. The guy had a great strategic mind.
The latin quote translates "Do you not know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?" It is from a letter from Axel Oxenstierna to his son Johan written in 1648 as Johan was going to negotiate The Peace of Westphalia. That was the peace that ended the 30 years war.
There is a very good article about Axel Oxenstierna on Wikipedia. He is the father of our modern state. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Oxenstierna
The runes are from a carving found near to where I grew up. The pictures tell the story of Sigurd the dragon slayer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigurd_ ... nd_carving
I twisted the image a bit to make it fit better in the sig. Now it looks like you see it when standing before it on the ground.
An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur? - Axel Oxenstierna

Do the runestones remain interesting to the people where you live?

Ok, glad it's not just me then. I am really trying to understand what he is saying but either his grasp of the English language is atrocious or he is worse off than I am.

Runestones never get outdated. The feeling you get when standing before one and actually reading and understanding the words is hard to explain. It's a 1000 years old message you are reading. There were a lot of them around where I grew up.

Hmm...if you had to make a runestone about a story from our culture today, what would it be?

I've always loved the idea of runestones, it's not that times were simpler, but it was just that what was said, was meant.
